so i have about 10 minutes between massages and checked my e-mail and there was an e-mail from a friend down in s. illinois, david, who said there was a babar record on ebay. i looked at it and figured it probably wasn’t right but i bought it anyway because it was only two bucks.

and then i decided to actually look around on ebay for a minute or two, and there was another record about babar and that is DEFINITELY the record! it’s a little more, 23 dollars, but it’s definitely the one. they listed all the songs, and one is “the big grey elephant team,” which of COURSE i know also! i actually didn’t have time to look at the record itself; maybe it’s not a 45, maybe it’s a big record. doesn’t matter. “the big grey elephant team…is marching out today…they’re glorious…”something something something…”they make us shout HOORAY!”

joy all around.

arthur and celeste AND the big grey elephant team!

hmm, now i need to think about getting a RECORD PLAYER. i believe mom and dad have one.

ok then, i’m sure your day can’t be as good as mine suddenly has become, but i hope it’s at least as good as it COULD be.

and if it isn’t, there’s always tomorrow!

ok ok ok,

very excited grace.
